It was my Dad who told me about it 30 years ago. He worked in the parks department at the time and had a lot to do with playgrounds and groundworks in general. I guess the formula could have changed in line with modern rules.
Like you say, I probably wouldn't whittle a spoon from it to stir the bairns porridge :)

I went through your bits, but worried that it would be too top heavy even before an unruly toddler clambers up, then found the spare 20x30mm. Plus it should look more in proportion, whereas some of the Ikea hacks I've seen look a bit chunky up top.
Although it's rough as fuck I sanded a section of one of the better bits down and it came up OK.

OK, good to know. I wonder why I was told otherwise but I guess that's how myths gain traction.
